I bought my last few (brand new)hearing aids from a supplier that sells them at wholesale prices.I paid less than $250.00(199 for one and another was 225) each for them.If you are interested,send me a PM and I will give you the sellers info. He sells brand new Siemens hearing aids(Digital)...

People who write long posts,please use PARAGRAPHS..they are your FRIEND here.Its unbelieveable the amount of posting that can go without spacing . :lol: That being said,can doctors that hire an interpreter just add that expense for tax write offs?If they can,they will recoup the loss and no...

And yet heres a copy of what you posted FIRST which tells me this is the empowering basis of your decision.. confused hey whats up, im in high school and i grew up mainstreamed with a ci. all my gfs have been hearing and i have never met a hot deaf girl according to my standards which are...

If youre female and shes female and thinks that way,then what is long term for her as compared to your ideals?Just date long enough until ya move on,or get married? I do not know if your M or F,Im assuming F from your user name,and if Im right,a bi F in the LONG RUN is going to give you some...

I agree with some of the others and say the term Robot,towards CI users,was/is meant to be a negative pun. Psycho-over-analysis is done by alot of people over something so simple,eh? :D

I had this happen to me many times,even before the BS nigerian scammers were well onto the scene.These days,if I use SIP relay or typing on the computer,I use the "operators instructions" and fill that out before making the call.I tell the relay not to ID them as a relay since most hearing...

Yeah mine has always done this too...its weird but cool at same time..can also be annoying!It annoyed me when using cordless phones in the past and walking around the kitchen and getting close to something to cause it to buzzzz..would make me feel :crazy: at times. Vam, Thanks for the...

LOL..I love that response...it had other uses they never intended eh? :cool2:

If you switch your H/A to T,and get close to a computer or something electronic,do you hear a type of buzzing noise?All my hearing aids for years,different brands,have done this,since I always used the T switch to talk on telephones.Dont use it much anymore since my hearing has went down,but I...

HAHA,those stories are great! Fun to reflect back on them... Just another tidbit..several years ago,I knew the Audiologist at a School for the Deaf.Real nice lady,hard working etc...She told me someone broke into her office over a weekend and stole 50 hearing aids! 50!!! She said to...

Not sure if this is right place for this topic...but I had my H/A stolen,but it wasnt the intended item! I went to an Amusement Park years ago and they had alot of water rides.They had these open locker boxes outside the ride to put your shoes/sneakers/etc inside of so they wouldnt get wet...

2 1/2 days??? For real?Is this the norm? Thats a super short life span!

What happens if the devices you need to wear,after the CI surgery,breaks down,gets damaged or etc? How much are those to replace?Does insurance cover those? I would imagine theyre very expensive.

Make sure you take the battery out and leave the battery door opened...it might take a few times of drying,dont burn your hands with the hot air! Also,if the hearing aid has an open hole on the top,use your mouth as a straw and try to suck the water out.Sounds nasty but hey it works...

Hey all,Im new here again...was a member here a few years back but did not remember my old user name or etc...lol...I didnt post much though and was mainly a lurker...so Im new again. Just a typical hello to all! :wave:

Have you tried using a blow dryer to dry the aid out? I dropped my aid in a small pool of water once and used a blow dryer to fix it. Lucky for me it worked! If that doesnt work a local audiologist can possibly put it in the dehumidifier and see if they can get the water out and working...

Hence I said "New" as well.I wont buy used...I bought a new one that later broke and sent it back under warranty before.Love the warranty! That being said,alot of people know the costs of new aids and get the sticker shock of the price tag.So they assume maybe buying a used one for half the...

I used my most recent audiogram as guide to select which hearing aid I wanted to buy.With that info,I looked at the new hearing aid the seller had and they each had charts to where they would work best,either severe,profound,moderate loss etc.Different models for different amounts of losses...

Just give yourself some time with it...I have worn hearing aids since I was 7 and Im 36 now and even with a new aid I had to adjust over time with it.One of my new hearing aids was really good and it took about 2 months before the mechanical sounding voices started to sound smoother and...
